During the summer vacation, there are more opportunities to get close to nature through outdoor activities such as swimming in the river, camping, and mountain climbing. So, I want to be careful about the damage of bees and horseflies.
What is the difference between bees and flies?
“The damage caused by bees and horse flies is not limited to severe pain and swelling. Sometimes it can lead to anaphylactic shock, so you have to be careful when outdoors,” says Earth Corporation, a major pest control company.
What is the difference between bees and horseflies in the first place?
“While a bee stings with a stinger on its rump, a horsefly cuts through the skin with its mouth.
Let me tell you more.
A bee’s sting is a means of self-defense
Bees, which can be seen not only in the fields but also in residential areas, are more familiar.
“Bees are social insects that are closely related to ants and live in groups. They do not like to attack people. It’s coming.
Bees will not attack unless provoked. If you hit it once, you will die. However, at that time, they may attack in groups because they emit excitants. A hornet doesn’t die after stinging once, it stings many times.”
What happens when a bee stings you?
“Pain and redness may occur, and it may be accompanied by itching. Anaphylactic shock is something to watch out for.
If you are stung by a bee, rest in a safe place, rinse with clean water, cool, and see what happens. If you have systemic symptoms such as hives, a drop in blood pressure, or difficulty breathing, you need to be transported to a medical institution immediately.”
Aphids come after people and animals!?
Why do horseflies sometimes bite people?
“A horsefly is a member of the fly family. Some species suck blood, while others do not. The target of sucking blood also differs depending on the species.
A blood-sucking horsefly cuts through the skin with its sharp mouthparts in order to suck blood. If bitten, rinse with clean water and cool. Symptoms such as redness, swelling, severe pain and itching may appear, but if it is severe, please consult a medical institution.
To keep bees and flies away
Many horseflies live near wetlands such as rivers, paddy fields, and marshes. Bees inhabit a wide range of fields, mountains and forests from around private houses.
Although it varies depending on the region, horsefly damage increases from June to September, and bee damage increases from June to October. Let’s pay attention to the following as measures against bees and horseflies outdoors in the summer.
(1) Dress in white rather than black
Avoid wearing black clothes and bags, wear white or light-colored clothes that reduce aggression, and wear a whitish hat.
(2) Pay attention to exposed skin
Be careful not to expose your skin to prevent damage from mosquitoes and black flies other than bees and horseflies.
(3) Use insect repellent to prevent horseflies
When you expose your skin at the waterside, etc., apply an insect repellent with the notation “Abu” to the applicable pest.
It is important to apply evenly in order to achieve the desired effect. Even on the face and neck, take it in the palm of your hand and spread it carefully. If you use sunscreen, apply insect repellent at the end.
(4) Does not irritate bees
Bees may be active or find nests in unexpected places. Never touch or shake the tree.
In addition, strong artificial odors such as perfumes, cosmetics, and hair products will excite bees, so please refrain from wearing items with strong odors.
(5) When a bee approaches, quietly lower yourself and leave.
Bees are sensitive to loud noises and violent movements. If a bee comes close to you, it will feel like it is attacking you if you shout or move it away with your hand.
(6) If a horsefly approaches, exterminate it with a special aerosol
If horseflies come near you, get rid of them with a special aerosol.
Don’t forget to take measures against bees and horseflies so that you can enjoy the summer to your heart’s content, such as playing in the river, camping, and climbing outdoors.
